"Need help sweetheart?" Bookstore Customer!Jason Todd helps you reach the books on the higher shelves. You were his favorite employee and he wanted to make your day easier. He'd been coming here for a while but you always forgot how tall he was and how good his body felt pressed against yours. You only knew how to mumble out a couple words because you didn't know what else to say to a man like that. "Uh sir, you don't need to-"
"Please call me anything but sir sweetheart, you know I'm not new here"
Bookstore Customer!Jason enjoyed teasing his favorite employee aka you of course. He teases you about working at the bookstore even though he's constantly there and he'll always be flirting with you even if you're working the counter that day. He knows he's holding up the line but he's a paying customer so he doesn't care.
"How's my favorite pretty girl doing?"
"M'tired today Jay, I can't handle your nonsense right now"
"Okay that was mean- wait, Jay? that's a first"
"Buy a book or get out Jason"
You could easily tell Jason liked classics and poetry but for some reason he was willing to read your favorites even if they were a smut-filled mess. One time, he backed you up into a corner, after reading one of those books you liked, "Hmm, you like this kind of shit baby? cause I can do all that to you and so much more"
Over time, you learned that Jason also likes to follow you to the store, whispering to you about all the things he could do to you if you'd let him. His hand is always on your hips, pressing his body fully into you. He knows you like it especially when you roll your hips into his when nobody's looking. He wishes you'd use your words and just say you were his but he knew he wasn't even close to getting that, at least not yet.
Jason tried to buy a new book every week, sometimes not even to read. He needed an excuse to be there since your boss has never been fond of him ever since he had caught him feeling you up near the back shelves once. He learned his lesso so now he purposefully buys the books you like, just so he can watch you ramble on and on about them without getting kicked out of the store.
Bookstore Customer!Jason thrived on the feeling he got from watching you go from being so nonchalant around him to the most talkative girl in the world. he wants you comfortable if he's going to fuck you. You find yourself shutting up one time because you thought you had bored him but he quickly gets rid of that thought for you, "Keep talking sweetheart, I'm just wondering how pretty your mouth would look with my cock stuffed down your throat"
"Jay I don't- I can't- I haven't-"
"Don't worry, you will and I'm sure you're a fast learner"
It wasn't that hard for you to notice that Jason got a little jealous when his brother Dick hits on you the first and last time he brings him to the bookstore. Dick easily chats you up and Jason watches the two become a bit too friendly for his liking but it wasn't his place to speak, "Now I see why my little brother brings home so many books"
"It's good he does, I like guys who read"
"I actually quite the fan of classic literature-"
"Oh shut up Dick"
Bookstore Customer!Jason had all your coworkers wondering if you'll ever let the poor guy hit. They weren't sure if Jason was interested in you or your body, regardless they couldn't ignore the smile you got whenever he walk in. Or the way you'd laugh at his dumb jokes. You had him on a leash and you didn't even know what to do with him. He's begging to take you out or just even spent a night with you. He didn't just want you, he needed you. "C'mon I promise to take care of you princess, I'll even take you to that little coffee shop in Bludhaven"
"Who told you about that?!"
"…Dick"
When he finally manages to convince you to let him kiss you, you're nervous as fuck. You thought this was just another one of his antics but no, this was real. He'd promised to stop hitting on you if you felt nothing and you should've know it was bad idea when you could hear your own heartbeat still your let his lips touch yours. It was such a bad idea because before you knew it, he's got you pushed up against the wall, leg parting your thighs with your hands gripping at his shirt. "Jay, more please" Suddenly after all this time, you're pleading for him. Oh how the tables have turned. You're begging for all he's got, and you know he has so much more to give.
"Just give me a moment baby, got be patient" Within a matter of minutes your pants are discarded on the floor, and your panties are still on but being pushed aside while two fingers are being pumped in and out of your pussy. He's got one hand on your hips holding you down while one of your legs is wrapped around his waist. "Didn't I tell you I could do some much for you baby?"
You nod quickly while he's sucking on your poor neck, that would definitely be red all tomorrow. you feel his teeth sink into your skin, not too hard but rough enough to leave a mark. "Now keep quiet, I don't want any of your coworkers hearing us back here" The next thing you know you're cumming on the boy's fingers and he wants you to do it again. and again. and possibly 50 more times if you're willing.
The next time Jason comes, he's holding what you think is flowers and you know he'll be your victim today.
"So I thought real flowers would be cheesy and you'd probably not want to take care of em, so my brothers taught me how to make these paper flowers and…here just take them"
"Wow, I'm getting hand-crafted flowers from THE Jason Todd? Someone must have a really big crush on me huh? Are those bandaids on your fingers? Want me to kiss your boo-boos? "
"Are you going to finally go out with me or do I have to make you cum-"
"Yes yes! Just do not finish that sentence out loud"
"You are soooooooooo in love me"
"Jay, get out"

— after dark
pairing: wednesday addams x fem!oni!reader
warnings: graphic descriptions of gore and violence, angst, self - injury
summary: the demon doesn't think herself deserving enough — every single time she touches wednesday, she does so with bated breath, as if the girl is made of porcelain
word count: 3.4k
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Weather Wane tended to be crowded on weekend afternoons, but Wednesday found herself enjoying the calm atmosphere of the coffee shop, lucky enough to only share the space with some old couple and a few teenagers. She sat in the corner by the window, reading a copy of Dracula, the only sound accompanying her being the quite chatter of other patrons that she quickly tuned down and the shuffling of the yellowed pages when she turned them.
(Y/n), on the other hand, seemed restless. She was sitting next to Wednesday, having long since finished her coffee, her arm draped over the seat, brows furrowed as she glared daggers at the barista working behind the counter. The poor guy had already caught her death stare once or twice as he kept glancing at the pair, averting his eyes quickly with a small shiver before returning to scrubbing at the coffee machine nervously. It seemed like he had something to say to the small ravenette, but with the seething oni basically burning holes into him, growling intimidatingly, it was akin to sneaking over a garden fence that clearly had a ‘beware of the angry dog’ sign plastered over it.
It wasn't like (Y/n) had anything personal against Tyler, she supposed. He didn't seem like a bad guy — hell, he didn't seem like anything at all. There was nothing special or out of ordinary about him. But, as the oni's gaze flicked down to Wednesday's face, her mind started to drift.
What if ordinary was what was best for the gloomy girl?
She was into weird things, of course, but... Being with a human would've been much more safe for her. It would've been a balanced relationship, and she wouldn't have to deal with some of the demonic trais (Y/n) knew vexed Wednesday to no end. Humans did have their own exasperating habits too, but in no way could they be compared to eating raw meat, growling in one's sleep or turning into a ferocious beast every Blood Moon.
Wait. When had (Y/n)'s thoughts taken such a drastic turn? She didn't like wallowing in self — doubt. She was an oni from a powerful bloodline with strong heritage, no human could ever best that. Besides, that bloodline consisted of demons and samurais. She could definitely protect Wednesday when needed.
"(Y/n), are you listening?"
Snapping out of her daze, the oni tilted her head to look at the Addams girl who was plaguing her thoughts, “Hm?”
"I asked if you wanted to take the longer route back to Nevermore. Night would probably befall us half — way... I'll hold your hand so you don't get lost." Wednesday muttered softly, looking up from her book.
The oni grinned, hand moving to tuck a stray lock of raven hair behind Wednesday's ear, her clawed finger gently tracing the smaller girl's cheekbone before she pulled away, "Sure. That'd be great."
Yeah. Yeah, she was pretty great. Eat that, Tyler Galpin.
Tumblr media
"Have you decided on the movie yet, (Y/n)?"
The demon groaned at the question, draping her blanket over her head to try and avoid answering.
"I did not," came the muffled response, "I'm having a hard time finding something to your liking that's not going to make me fall asleep halfway through."
"I'll watch whatever you like. I don't care."
"But I do!" (Y/n) shook the fluffy blanket off, her (h/c) hair emerging disheveled, and looked up at the ravenette with a pout, "I want you to actually enjoy what you're watching, not have to sit it through for my sake."
"I really don't care." The ravenette emphasized.
The demon sighed, her clawed finger sliding over the touch pad as she scrolled through the catalogue,
"Fine. But don't complain when it's too cheesy or stupid for you."
It was always like this with Wednesday on movie nights — she'd insist she had no preference, then the second the movie (Y/n)'d choose started, she'd grumble about it. They had watched most of the good horror movies that existed, the girls' favorites being Silence of the Lambs, Saw and Carrie, but the oni's mood would sometimes long for something less macabre, much to Wednesday's displeasure.
Running her hands through her wet hair, the ravenette grabbed her brush and moved to sit on her side of the bed, squinting to take a better look at the screen.
"... Breakfast Club?" She read with a frown, and her gaze slid over to the demon's face, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
"But it's really good! And it has a cool dance scene I thought you might enjoy... " (Y/n) sighed, looking back at the laptop sadly, "Or, you know... We could always rewatch Pulp Fiction again if you want to."
Wednesday sighed tiredly before putting the brush on her nightstand, lying down next to (Y/n) and grabbing her arm to pull the limb to her chest, albeit a little roughly, entwining her slender fingers with the oni's.
"Start the movie." She mumbled finally.
"Wha— really?"
"Start the wretched movie before I change my mind, (Y/n)."
The demon grinned, snuggling closer to the grumpy ravenette. She clicked on the movie poster and pressed space, then rest her cheek on top of Wednesday's head, sighing in content.
"But next time we're watching Tusk."
"No, Wednesday."
Tumblr media
The first time Wednesday noticed it, she thought she was seeing things — maybe it had been the lighting, or her imagination playing tricks, but the ravenette didn't really pay it too much thought. She was used to visions haunting her, after all.
They were in class, a few minutes before their break would end, and (Y/n) sat backwards in her chair, elbows resting on the back as she talked to Enid and Yoko at the desk behind her, while Wednesday busied herself with her herbology assignment, having taken a habit of doing all her school stuff at least a week ahead.
At some point the lively conversation died, and the ravenette noticed it was just the vampire and the werewolf talking amidst themselves. (Y/n) was completely silent.
Turning in her seat to glance at the oni, Wednesday saw the demon looking back at her already, chin resting on her arms. Her head was titled a bit, and her (e/c) eyes glistened with fondness, but much to the smaller girl's surprise, the usual slits were absent — (Y/n)'s pupils were widened, taking up her whole sclera.
"Is something wrong?" Wednesday asked, a bit bashful under the gaze.
"No," (Y/n) denied through her lazy smile, "You're just really pretty. I like looking at you. Is that wrong?"
Color dusted Wednesday's pale cheeks lightly, and she turned back to her notes, "It's not, I suppose."
Huh. What an interesting trait. She wondered what the cause of it was.
It happened again when the girls were at Wednesday’s dorm, going over the ravenette’s investigation. (Y/n) was standing in the middle of the room, watching the smaller girl gesture at her hand – made chart, different photos of people, newspapers records and some of her own written notes were spread around the board, neatly arranged.
“Do you know what this means, (Y/n)?” She asked, pushing the papers into the demon’s hands, pointing at the picture, then walking back to her chart, “These are not just some mindless murders, he’s collecting trophies, like a seasoned serial killer. It’s quite impressive, actually.” Wednesday rambled heatedly before turning around to face the other girl, ready to hear her opinion on the case – but the oni wasn’t looking at the papers.
Her gaze was focused on the ravenette, a small grin on her lips, and her slit pupils were widened so much Wednesday swore she could see her own reflection in the orbs.
“... (Y/n). Are you listening?”
“Uh - huh. Yeah. Something something mindless murders, yeah...”
Coming up to stand before the taller girl, Wednesday snapped her fingers in front of her face, successfully waking her demon up from her daze.
"Yeah, sorry. I'm listening." (Y/n) blinked, looking down at the photographs in her hands, and Wednesday watched her pupils become slitted again.
Tumblr media
Wednesday hated making out. Everything about it was gross to the girl, from the unhygienic exchange of bacteria to the awful feeling of being so close to another living being. But making out with her demon girlfriend... That was something completely different, and Wednesday found it becoming a perfect stress relief, her favorite past – time activity, something to look forward every time they were alone.
(Y/n) sighed into Wednesday’s lips as her hold on the girl’s waist tightened, pulling her closer where Wednesday straddled her on the bed. The ravenette slid her palms up to the demon’s shoulders, then up her neck, cold fleeting touch leaving goosebumps in its wake, and rested her hands on her powerful jaw. She pulled away, a small string of saliva between their mouths, and her tongue licked over the demon’s big tusks. (Y/n) whined, making Wednesday smile.
When her gaze slid from the oni’s lips up to her eyes, she found the puzzling sight again – (Y/n)’s pupils wide and round as she watched Wednesday, dazed and breathing heavily. Pressing her hands to the girl’s cheeks, the ravenette leaned in to take a closer look.
“(Y/n), your eyes...” she said quietly, “Did you know they do this?”
“Huh?” the demon slurred in reply, not really focusing on the question, “Do what?”
“Your pupils, they get... bigger sometimes. Especially when... When you look at me...” Wednesday trailed off, the realisation hitting her suddenly.
It seemed like the same thing had happened to (Y/n), as the demon’s face turned red and she averted her gaze, draping an arm over her eyes, “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she mumbled, embarrassed.
The ravenette sighed, grabbing the oni’s hand to pull it away from her face, “Are you getting shy on me now? Don’t be silly,” she pressed a small kiss to (Y/n)’s nose, chuckling at the way it scrunched under her gentle touch, “It’s a common thing for most felines, actually. Are you a kitten, perhaps?”
“Oh my God, stop.” (Y/n) groaned, hiding her face in her palms.
Tumblr media
Wednesday ran through the woods, completely out of breath. Her legs hurt, knees bleeding where she scraped them from falling, and she could barely see where she was going, the night air nipping at her skin and urging her forward. The forest was almost silent – the heaviness of danger hung in the air, making all the wilderness hold its breath.
How long had she been running? Why did the forest seem so endless and dark, like a pit with nothing but void awaiting in the end?
The girl heard a loud roar behind her and picked up pace as much as her tired legs could allow her. Deep down she knew she would never win this chase. It was natural — prey was always meant to be caught by the predator.
Loud growls paired with sounds of leaves crunching under heavy limbs made her realise the creature was catching up. Gathering the last bits of her strength, Wednesday pushed herself to her limits, rushing forward to try and blend in the dark trees.
A flash of (e/c) eyes and huge tusks, and the ravenette went tumbling down on the ground. The demon knocked her off her feet and sent her flying on the forest floor, pining Wednesday to it with her talons painfully sinking into her sides. The ravenette winced, looking up at the furious creature who opened her toothy maw with an animalistic growl, staring down at the small human with heavy breaths. The oni's gaze was absolutely insane — there were no traces of humanity, no traces of (Y/n), warm and soft and full of adoration when Wednesday used to look at her.
Only monstrous hunger remained.
The demon didn't waste any time to bare her tusks, spit dripping as she lowered her head to finally put an end to their cat-and-mouse game. Wednesday grabbed at the monster's face, arms straining as she tried to push the creature away, but her frail hands were barely an obstacle to the demon — the oni's powerful jaws locked on her neck sharply, a loud crunching sound followed, and the creature jerked her head away forcefully, biting a chunk of flesh off the ravenette's throat.
A gargled sound left Wednesday's mouth, a scream muffled by blood gushing out, and she choked on the liquid, fingers digging at the soil around her as her chest contacted in pitiful attempts to gather up air.
Her widened eyes met the wild gaze of the predator above her, and her mouth moved, trying to get something out. Scarlet spilled instead of words, making her choke again, and after a few seconds of painful breaths the girl’s body went completely still.
The demon swallowed the warm meat, licking her lips pleasantly. She grinned, her teeth bloody, and dipped her head again to take another big bite from the delicious dish.
When (Y/n) awoke, she shot up in her bed, a gasp leaving her lips as she tried to steady her breathing.
She looked around, realising she was in her dorm, and not in the forest. It was still dark, and the only light was coming from the window, the moon shining amidst the gloomy sky illuminating her room in a soft glow. She stared down at her lap with widened eyes, palms grasping her blanket in a death grip.
Trying to swallow around the lump in her throat, she pressed her hands against her forehead and her shoulders shook.
Wednesday.
(Y/n) turned her head sharply — the small girl was sleeping soundly beside her, chest rising and falling with gentle breaths, and the demon felt bile rise up her throat.
God. She dreamt of eating her girlfriend. A being that now laid in the demon's bed, completely defenseless and fragile, trusting (Y/n) with her life more than anyone else.
Tearing the blanket off her body and stumbling to her feet, (Y/n) swayed, hitting her side against the desk, and her breathing turned erratic as the girl started to hyperventilate. She grabbed at her head, fingers carding through the (h/c) tresses, and the oni's claws slid down her face, leaving raw bleeding gashes that healed instantly. So the oni clawed at her cheeks again, again and again between choked breaths and pathetic hoarse whines escaping her throat, tears sliding down her chin and mixing with blood in a salty red river.
(Y/n) felt like screaming. She felt like clawing her eyes out, burying her fingers in the sockets of her skull and crushing them to never see the light of the day again.
She didn't deserve to.
Her legs gave out and the oni slid down to the wooden floor, leaning her head against the side of the desk. (Y/n) grabbed at her chest, talons piercing through the fabric of her shirt, wishing her heart would stop hurting. The girl wanted to rip it out of her own ribcage.
A soft touch on her back made the demon shiver, and she looked over her shoulder to find Wednesday sitting on her knees, hand outstretched and gently pressing into (Y/n)'s shaking form. Her expression was calm but in the darkness of her eyes swirled worry.
"Wed- Wednesday... Wednes... day, I... " The oni tried to speak through her quiet gasps and hiccups unsuccessfully.
"I'm here," came soft and quiet reassurance from the ravenette, "I'm right here, (Y/n)."
Clawed hands grasped at Wednesday's arms, and the demon hanged her head, face burying in the smaller girl's chest as she shook, tears coming in a seemingly unstoppable flow. Wednesday hugged the demon closer to herself, hands resting on her back, slender fingers tracing mindless circles there.
She didn't speak again.
Tumblr media
“Wednesday? What’s going on?” (Y/n) walked into the ravenette’s half - empty dorm to see the girl gathering her things around the room.
“I was expelled, (Y/n).” Wednesday deadpanned calmly without looking at the demon.
“W... What?”
“It’s the condition Sheriff Galpin imposed in exchange for him not pressing charges. I’m going home.”
“No, this is... This is ridiculous,” the demon felt a lump forming in her throat as she stepped closer to Wednesday, watching her pack her suitcase orderly, “I can talk to Weems. I’m sure she’ll understand, you don’t have to- “
“The decision’s already been made,” Wednesday interrupted, stacking her books in a pile, face completely impassive, “It seems I’ve lost.”
The demon pressed her clawed hands on the typewriter case when the smaller girl moved to grab the handle, “And you’re just going to leave like this?” she asked, frustrated, “When he’s out there, parading around the town as if he’s not a monstrous killer?”
“It does exasperate me, but,“ Wednesday averted her eyes, looking down at the floor, “Xavier’s right. If I’m not here... The prophecy won’t come true.”
“If you’re not here, this stupid school is done for,” (Y/n) grumbled, “But there’s one thing I can promise you. If Tyler ever shows his face around here, they’ll be scraping hyde intestines off the fucking walls.”
Wednesday didn’t reply. Her sagged shoulders straightened again, and the ravenette stepped away to gather what remained of her stuff, “I’ve known not to trust people all my life for the sake of not being let down, but... In the end, I was the one to disappoint everyone.”
“That’s bullshit,” the demon girl snapped, rushing after Wednesday and grabbing her by the hands, turning her around to face her, “You were the most intelligent, cunning and bold person around here. No one could ever compare.”
The demon’s voice shook slightly, and she pressed her blunt tusks into her bottom lip to stifle a sob, inhaling through her mouth with a hiss, before continuing, “You... you taught me to accept myself. To live without feeling unworthy of life. You were here, through thick and thin, by my side, even when I least deserved it...”
She stopped speaking for a moment, closing her eyes. Wednesday opened her mouth to reply, but then the warm grip on her palms tightened, and (Y/n) looked at her again.
“I love you, Wendesday.”
Wednesday’s dark pools of grey widened, and she felt emotions overwhelm her. Suddenly, the realisation came crushing down like a tidal wave – it was the last time she was seeing the oni. She won’t get to feel her touch again, watch her sleep in the dead of night, won’t ever share a desk with her in class. The ravenette felt tears well up in her eyes, but she didn’t let them fall.
“If there is a single good thing Nevermore gave me... It’s you, (Y/n).”
Wednesday leaned closer to the taller girl, pressing her plush lips against (Y/n)’s, and the oni pulled her closer by the waist, desperately trying to grasp all the warmth of Wednesday’s body to herself. The demon’s heart fluttered every time she kissed the ravenette, as if she had never kissed her before, not being able to get used to the soft feeling of her lips, but the kiss they shared now felt like a sorrowful goodbye, and (Y/n) couldn’t fight a single tear sliding down her face.
When they parted, Wednesday’s heart clenched at the sight of the distraught demon, and she raised a pale hand to gently wipe the stray drop off her cheek, “Don’t cry,” she berated the oni girl gently.
“I’m sorry. I don’t want you to leave,” leaning into the cold touch, the demon sighed shakily, “Fuck. What will I do without you?”
“What you always do. Laugh at the most idiotic things obnoxiously, skip classes, growl at people and eat everything without discrimination.”
(Y/n) chuckled, pressing her forehead against Wednesday’s with a small watery grin, “What a charmer you are.”
They stayed like this for a few moments, reluctant to let go of each other, before the demon opened her eyes, “Can I see you to the station?”
The ravenette nodded.

this town - trevor zegras
Tumblr media
summary: as you roam the busy streets of chicago, you run into a painfully familiar new york born boy who’s currently living on the west coast.
roughly inspired by this town by niall horan! so feel free to play that song while you read if you want!
trying a new format?! also hi i’m popping in to write a little something for no reason :) this is definitely not my best work but ohhh well
as you dodge the little pieces of trash on the concrete, your headphones rest upon your ears playing all kinds of music you love. the tote bag resting on your shoulder holds all kinds of clutter, which is something nearly everyone teases you for. the only person who never teased you for it was trevor. it used to be his favorite thing. he loved how you always had things like tangled earbuds you’d never used crumpled at the bottom, or even a book you’d barely even opened since you bought it resting in your bag.
you and trevor were practically the it couple of plymouth high school, but that was until you guys ended a month after he got drafted. you found out when he’d gone to development camp in anaheim, he kissed another girl at a bar with his new teammates. it broke you to pieces, but what you didn’t know was that it broke trevor even more. you swore to never speak to him again, and you’ve kept that promise. you moved out of michigan for college, and you’ve been thriving. chicago is treating you well, and so has northwestern. you’ve avoided anything trevor related for as long as possible. skipping past any ducks games on tv, even if it’s your favorite team against them.
while your beat up converse pad across the street and your ripped jeans hug you perfectly, you notice all of the tourists surrounding you. you also notice a large group of boys around your age walking your way. as you get closer, your breath hitches. it feels like the entire world stops when you see him, and suddenly your feet bring you to a halt. your head hesitantly turns around, and so does his. the people walking behind you groan at your sudden stop and walk around you, as you stand there in shock. trevor’s group of friends notice he’s no longer walking with them and turn around to see what he’s doing. his action in question being staring at you.
“y/n, hi,” he says breaking the awkward silence.
“trevor,” you softly say.
“how’ve you been? how’s chicago?”
“it’s amazing. i love it,” you say as you begin to fidget with your fingers.
“i’m glad. i know you were nervous to start college,” he says with a small smile curling at the corners of his lips. suddenly he gasps, “i’m so sorry guys, i’m so rude! this is y/n. y/n meet some of my teammates!”
you quickly realize these are most likely the same guys who pressured him into cheating on you, and you get even more upset at the situation. “hi,” you say with a fake smile. one of the boys speak up after a few silent moments, “hey z we’re gonna go back to the hotel, take your time catching up,” the darker haired boy says. trevor nods at the boy and turns back to you.
“so, what are you doing in chicago?” you ask.
“oh we have a game tomorrow night against the blackhawks. are you gonna go?”
“i have schoolwork trevor, not everyone got out of college the easy way,” you chuckle, and trevor rolls his eyes.
“hey do you maybe uh, want to get coffee? or something?” trevor asks as his hand rubs the back of his neck. your heart falls into your stomach as memories flood. memories of when he told you what had happened in anaheim, in your guys favorite coffee shop. he barely even looked upset when he told you, just like how he looks perfectly fine with seeing you now. no guilt? nothing?
“i uh, i really need to go. it was great seeing you though,” you say as you begin to walk away. no matter how many white lies you tell, you truthfully haven’t been the same without trevor, but apparently he’s been just fine.
it’s a restful evening, but a knock on your apartment door startles you. as you slowly approach the door, and look through the small peephole, you see trevor. he’s stood there with a bouquet of your favorite flowers in hand. you sigh and open the door, “trevor? how did you find my apartment?”
“don’t worry about it, okay? i’m just here to apologize.”
“apologize for what?”
“everything,” his tongue darts out to lick his lips as he pauses his sentence.
“trevo-“ you begin, but he cuts you off. “shh, let me explain okay?” he says and you nod, meanwhile taking the flowers from his arms.
“i was so young and so stupid back then. i never realized just exactly what i’d be losing and how much it would impact me. waking up without knowing you’re apart of my life kills me more and more. as cheesy as it sounds, it’s true, y/n.”
your wide variety of emotions make you unable to find the right words, but eventually you’re able to string out a sentence. “why are you here now? why years later? you’ve known i’ve been in chicago. why are you just now telling me this?”
“because i wanted to so badly respect your choice. i know you’ve been avoiding me, and i don’t blame you. i mean we live across the country, sure, but there’s so many forms of communication, yet you never reached out. so i figured you were avoiding me, and i wanted to respect that. but now that i’ve seen you in person, i couldn’t help but feel that this is what’s right. no matter where i go, or who i’m with, it’s like i’m constantly chasing your shadow down the street. i always look for a little bit of you in everyone. everything always comes back to you.”

Tumblr media
oh honey thats not how that works xD this man is smart but also oh so dumb i think he gets that from his avatar that and he is a few years fresh from the usb Update: @alianarepasa let me know its from a mad max episode i manage to miss it was a fun watch and now i understand what this means xD these peeps really went wild without internet poor toad
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pifft im guessing he has masters degree specialized in psychology? other wise idk how he is a psychologist and he seems to be a good one from what we have seen but who knows he could be bullshitting his way through how evil xD
Tumblr media
both our boys are ready to ride forklifts into the sunset someone draw this please xD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
im laughing i guess SMG3 isnt much a fan of boopkins but seems he really enjoys being with the crew he wont say it but im sure he is a happy bean to finally be with the cool kids after years of being jealous.
Tumblr media
he says but give this man eggdog or eggdog memes and he becomes Tari in a second
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hey lads we found the page from SMG4 We Dont Talk About What Happened in the Elevator
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
he wants a castle but ended up with a sick lair in a coffee shop i think thats better!
Tumblr media
okay putting my shipping heart away this is so interesting to me like he starts off thinking 4 is a loser and makes him his rival then gets jealous he has these friends and he isnt apart of them. We know SMG3 is lonely and lost as he doesn't know his purpose before becoming lord of the graveyard now being apart of the crew and now knowing who is he, SMG3 is much happier and closer to the crew. But the way he writes this feels like he likes the close contact with 4 and while he doesnt want to admit it could it be he legit does have romantic feelings? idk i feel these past episodes and this part really gets me thinking they have something here to really make smg34 canon naturally and not have the way they act with each other be to different might go more into this later.
Tumblr media
this sparks joy thank you for including this and thats it for my ted talk thanks for reading again this is just my highlights i dont want to post the whole notebook here just stuff that gets my mind going!

this man is a little bit too obsessed with dressing you up. you can always depend on your boyfriend when ur going shopping. by the end of the day you're gonna be surrounded by the outfits he chose for you. spoiler alert, you look so hot in all of them LMAO, stylist bf things.
he's super in love with watching sunsets with you. ever since you guys started dating, he has always been sneaking a lil pic of you next to the beautifully colored sky, and little does he know, you do too. well, occasionally so.
matching bracelets ♡_♡ suits him so much tbh. and he's like never taking it off too. its those thread bracelets with your initials graved in them hehe.
cleans up everywhere when you're stil asleep. and cooks the most drool worthy breakfast ever its like ur in a mf hotel i swear. he takes care of your things like its his, sometimes you wake up to him reading a book you finished recently whilst drinking a hot cup of coffee on the couch. "hey, i heard you finished this. nothing bad happens in the end right?"
spoils you but spoils you like how a normal boyfriend would spoil his lover AND how a dad would spoil his daughter. one day he could be buying you a pandora necklace and the next could be him coming home with bags filled with matching pajamas and a fairy costume set for ages 3 and up. (ps, the pjs have my little pony prints on them) his excuse for the costume is -- "it says 3 and up baby. you're up, aren't you?". (im tearing up)
random slow dances at noon. with the curtains closed and a big lamp being your only source of light. its so comfortable and calming. your head laying on his shoulder as his hand stays there on your waist. both your hands intertwined as you get lost in the music playing from his phone. everything becomes quiet and suddenly its just the both of you in the world. you can only see him and he can only see you. nothing is on his mind, just you. and vice versa. you find yourself just standing there together until your legs cant handle it anymore. it always end with a nap or even a dinner date. who knows, he just loves being with his angel.
showering together, only if you're both comfortable with it ofcourse. by this i don't mean it in a sexual way like at all. he feels like its his duty to wash and scrub your hair wish the perfect amount of shampoo, and you like rub soap on each others back ㅠㅠ. then afterwards he's blow drying your hair while your taking cute little mirror selfies or putting on skincare together. this is one of the times joshua feels content. he feels more than happy when he's with you right now in moments like this. he adores it when you do his hair too. he gives you little pecks and kisses all over your face as soon as your done. (ok im gonna go cry now)
loves cooking for you. he secretly took cooking classes when you guys first started dating and now he's a five star michelin (ehe). everything in him is so curious and excited for your reaction everytime he cooks a new dish. you can find him constantly looking for new recipes for you to try. expect your stomach to never have issues ever again due to his godly cooking skills. you seriously don't know how he does it, but you let it slide as long as you're getting fed. he's super satisfied when he sees you full and tired from all the food he gave you. he always reminds you to always drink water afterwards and not to move around much. and let me confirm, he definitely has the 'kiss the chef' apron. and obviously you do kiss the chef! always. ♡

I WISH YOU KNEW ( How much I love you ) | P.S.H
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
paring : Sunghoon x fem!reader
word count : roughly 3.0k
A/N : This is pretty much just sunghoon missing his ex girlfriend… while thinking about how his childhood fucked up his view of love… ( Also this is just Do it all again but I turned it into an xreader and it’s no longer multi chaptered since i’m discontinuing the series… sorry ) This hasn’t been proof read/edited and sorry if the writing his shit ( what’s new tbh 🥲 )
Tumblr media
As he opened the familiar black door the brunette was instantly swarmed with a sense of relaxation as he stepped into the warmth of the small coffee shop.
walking up to the counter he was greeted with a kind smile from the cashier who quickly took his order before going to hand it off to the barista.
A few minutes later his name is called, the brunette carefully grabbing his hot beverage mutters a thank you to the worker.
Moving over toward the bay window where he'd usually find himself sitting, Sunghoon was surprised to see his usual spot occupied by someone .
Though something about the girl seemed familiar, the bucket hat she was wearing hid her eyes as she peacefully read the book resting in her lap. Wired earphones plugged into her ears.
Despite not being able to see her face the yellow sweater she wore looked all too familiar.
It was your favorite sweater. . .
The one you wore on the day you first met, and the same one you wore the day he called things off.
It couldn't be you the boy thought as he seated himself at a table not too far away from the window. Hands shaking as he lifted his drink to his lips letting the hot liquid overflow his taste buds.
Why was he nervous just thinking about you? It's been about 3 months since you guys broke up. You're probably already over him.
The sound of the bell above the door ringing catches Sunghoon's attention, the boy's hopes of talking to l
you faded as the girl in the yellow sweater exits the shop. Sunghoon caught a glimpse of her face.
It wasn't even you.
If you asked Sunghoon the last time he'd heard the words I love you leave his parent's mouths the boy would stare at you and say nothing. Since according to him they never did.
Not during his birthday, Valentine's day, or even when Sunghoon said it first. The only time the park boy had ever heard somewhat caring words come from his parents' mouths was when he was skating on ice.
So in a search for the attention and love he craved when he was younger Sunghoon continued to skate just to earn his parent's approval. Though the older he got the more tired he grew of their lack of attention.
Why couldn't they treat him the same at home or before he even started skating? Why does he have to give 100% every day only to receive a small nod and a forced smile. Did they truly not love him? Or was he just not worthy of their love?
And to this day Sunghoon still wasn't exactly sure about the answer to that question.
Good thing skating wasn't all that bad. It gave him something to do and he was able to keep himself busy. Like an escape from the realities of his life.
It was also the reason he'd met you.
You and Sunghoon met during his 2nd year of college and it was safe to say that you were like a breath of fresh air. Your kind smile, and captivating eyes that turned into crescents as you laughed, and the soft voice that spilled from your plump lips.
Sunghoon had first spotted you at the ice rink while you were teaching a group of younger students to skate to help your friend earn her community service hours. Your hair was covered by a knitted blue hat that matched the gloves shielding your fingers from the cold. Your cheeks and nose tinted a faint pink due to the crisp air.
Sunghoon was surprised to see anyone in the rink since it was usually empty in the afternoon, so he just decided to practice another day since one day off wouldn't hurt.
As he was in the middle of unlacing his skates another pair of united skates stepped into his vision. Followed by a soft tap on his shoulder.
" Excuse me, sir, could you help me tie my skates?" A slightly deep voice asked, causing Sunghoon to look up only to see a young boy with blonde hair staring back at him. He looked to be about 15 or 16 at the most. Sunghoon couldn't help but notice his accent seemed much different. Maybe he's foreign.
" Oh, um sure!" sunghoon says guiding the boy to sit down on the bench before he began tying the boy's skates properly. " There you go." Sunghoon goes to stand but the boy pulls his hand.
" Wait, can you also walk me over to that girl over there, I would go over by myself but I don't wanna fall." The boy says pointing towards the girl who was currently helping two other children stand up.
" is that your teacher?" Sunghoon questions as he adjusts his own skates receiving a nod. " Alright, come on." Sunghoon says holding out his hand to assist the kid as he stepped onto the ice.
" Y/n look I tied my skates all by myself!" The boy shouted holding onto the sunghoon for dear life as he tried not to lose his balance.
" Niki, what are you doing now?" The girl questions skating over to the pair. " You said if I tie my skates properly all by myself I can take you on a date." The boy— Niki says causing sunghoons eyebrows to raise in surprise and your eyes to harden into a, not at all intimidating glare.
You looked more like a mad toddler and Sunghoon couldn't help but smile.
" Niki how many times have I been over this... you're too young for me, I don't date children." You remind Niki to frown.
" Hey, you promised! plus it's only a 4-year difference that's better than Jongseob's parents and I turn 18 in a few years." Niki whined. A faint shout of 'Hey!' could be heard from who Sunghoon assumed was Jongseob, but no one looked to acknowledge it..
" You didn't even tie your skates yourself," y/n claims gesturing towards the neatly tied skates as she comes a little closer. " I can tell." the girl adds tiling her head. She was prettier up close, Sunghoon thought.
wait what was he thinking?
" What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying I'm not capable of doing it myself?" Niki gasped dramatically, placing a hand over his chest.
"Yes Niki, that's exactly what I'm saying."
"Whatever... I'm out of here. I won't listen to your accusations, you hear that? Jungwon needs me." Niki says despite Jungwon being across the rink skating alongside Soul.
" Hey sir do you mind helping me over to that boy over there," Niki asks, making y/n burst out into laughter.
" Nevermind I can do it on my own, y'know since I'm independent!" Niki exclaims before attempting to skate away on his own only to fall a few seconds later.
" You didn't see that." The boy says standing back up and wobbling his way over to his friends.
" Sorry about him, he's a bit of a handful." Y/n apologized now, turning her attention to sunghoon who had been staring at her pretty much the whole time.
" Oh, no worries, he seems very dedicated." Sunghoon chuckles, snapping out of his trance as an awkward silence falls over them.
" so, what's your name?" She asks boldly, catching Sunghoon off guard. " Oh um it's Sunghoon. Park Sunghoon." He replies, trying to avert his eyes away from the girls stare.
" Well, it's nice to meet you! I'm Y/n... Y/n L/n." Y/n says and when she smiled Sunghoon knew he was long gone.
That was probably one of the best days of Sunghoons life, or maybe the worst since it led him to where he was now.
Sitting alone in a coffee shop filled with couples and families after having a mini-eternal panic at the thought of seeing you again.
His drink had now turned cold and tasted much more bitter than it did just minutes ago yet he still drank it. Honestly, Sunghoon was a bit annoyed with himself.
Why was he so hung up on some girl when he was the one who ended things? Why is everything affecting him so much?
He didn't notice it at first but as the days went by after their breakup he started becoming more and more aware of how dull his life was without his sunshine ( you ) in it.
There was no one for him to wake up to every morning and fall asleep next to every night.
No one was waiting for him in his apartment after practice and forcing him to watch a new episode of a drama while eating ramen that they made together.
No one was singing obnoxiously loud in the seat next to him as he drove to the mall earning stares from the people in the cars next to them.
No one there for sunghoon to drag into every store that caught his eye.
No one there for sunghoon to argue with about the best ice cream flavors.
No one was there to eat dinner with.
There was just no one there.
And it sucked.
But what really bothered Sunghoon the most was that he'd never had a problem with being alone before meeting you.
Hell, he'd even purposefully turn down friendships just so he could keep to himself only making 3 friends just to keep his parents off his back. So why did it bother him now?
Fuck, Y/n what have you done to me?
Tumblr media
" BUT YOU PROMISED YOU'D COME HYUNG!" Niki yelled, causing Y/n to flinch and pop the balloon she was holding. It was December 9th, Niki's 18th birthday.
" come on hyung just come by to say hi at least it's my 18th. I've been waiting for this day since I was 14," Niki says and 14 just so happened to be how old he was when he met you.
" talking about how you've been waiting to be legal to date my ex-girlfriend isn't gonna make me wanna come to your party." Sunghoon complains to Niki, rolling his eyes at his stubbornness. Why did you and Sunghoon have to break up before his birthday?
" You think that's all I've been waiting on? It was a kiddie crush. Okay I've already moved on and honestly you should too." Niki admits, whispering the last part as he walks into his bedroom, locking the door behind him to prevent the girl from hearing more of the conversation.
Sunghoon scoffed, slightly offended by the youngers words. Despite how true they were.
" Who are you to tell me to move on from her? We've only been apart for a few months. It takes time, Niki." Sunghoon explains, it had been 3 months and 5 days to be exact though, he wasn't counting.
"Fine, then what if we make it a duo party? you didn't even let us throw you a party yesterday."
"I don't like celebrating my birthday." Hoon dismissed flatly.
" Well I guess you won't be here to try and stop Theo from asking her out then, y'know he's been flirting with her a lot lately. " Niki lies.
" Niki I'm not falling for your dumb trick Theo and Keeho are practically married there's no way he's into y/n." Sunghoon recalls causing the boy on the phone to whine once again. Keeho snapped his head toward him at the sound of his name.
Sunghoon could hear the sound Niki's feet stomping against the wooden floors. He's such a baby.
" So what if Jake asked her out, would you be okay with it?" Niki questions raising his eyebrows, a smirk making its way into his lips. "Doesn't matter who asks her out, it's none of my business! even if it's. . . jake"
" Hoon, just come to the party so you guys can kiss and make up like you always do. I'm sick of this whole being apart thing getting on my nerves. You two usually only break off for a week or so. I preferred when you guys were all annoying and clingy." Niki states Sunghoon shaking his head.
" You think I don't miss that too ?" Sunghoon mumbles to Niki, unable to hear him. " Listen, Niki, I know you're trying to make things right but, we're better off apart."
I wish we weren't.
Though Niki disagrees he doesn't say it he just responds with a short ok. " Happy Birthday Niki,I hope everything goes how you want it to," Sunghoon says before hanging up. Looking over at Wonyoung, keeho, and Kai who were sitting beside him shamelessly listening to his conversation. Sunghoon already knew what the trio was about to say.
" You should go to the party." keeho blurts
" I'm not going to the party."
" Come on, it's Niki's birthday. You're gonna look like an asshole if you don't go. Y/n definitely won't take you back if you upset her best friend." Wonyoung says looking at an unamused Sunghoon.
" Why does everyone assume I want to get back together with her? I mean I'm the one who ended things, why would I want her back?" Sunghoon groans
" Because you love her... duhhh." kai said as if he were stating the obvious. ( he was )
yeah, but I never told her that
Sunghoon could tell you a lot of choices he'd regretted making in all his 21 years of living. but if he had to choose his biggest regret it'd be not saying those three words that he'd craved all his life.
It was honestly shocking to Sunghoon when Y/n told him she loved him in the middle of one of their movie nights.
Sunghoon remembers how he tried to stutter out his reply and how scared she looked when he struggled to reply. Sunghoon had never heard those words before, nor did he feel he deserved to hear them at all.
He hadn't done anything to earn the three words though he couldn't exactly ignore the way his heart jumped when the words fell from her soft lips.
" It's okay if you're not ready to say it back. I'll be here when you're ready." Y/n reassures her soft tone calming Sunghoons nerves as he tucked his head further into her neck.
But what if he was never ready to say it back? Would she still love him? Was she willing to wait for him? Sunghoon knew deep down that he wasn't worthy of someone's love. Especially not yours.
You deserve someone who could shower you with endless 'I love you's, you didn't deserve to wait for someone like Sunghoon when there were so many other options out there. Like jake. . .
The sexy australian guy who had transferred to l your college and never tried to hide his crush on the you. He was smart, also played soccer and had the personality of a puppy. And when it really comes down to it Sunghoons always wondered why you choose to stay with him.
" Why?" Sunghoon asked pausing the movie. You sat up to look at him.
" Why what?"
" Why do you love me?" Sunghoon questions as if he couldn't believe the idea that someone would truly love him. The truth was he didn't.
" I mean everyone usually has a reason. My sister loves me because I take care of her and buy her snacks, my grandma loves me because I help her fix her phone 10 times a week, and my parents... they like me because I skate. So why do you love me?" Sunghoon questions, failing to see how the girls eyes softened as he mentioned his parents.
" I love you because you're you, Sunghoon. Not a skater, or someone who buys me things, helps me fix something, or because you're my boyfriend. You don't always need a reason to love someone, sometimes you just do." Y/n explained but her answer only confused sunghoon more.
Noticing the boys confusion she quickly spoke again
" But that's just how I see it, and that could be completely different from your opinion and that's okay," she adds, toying with Sunghoons fingers.
" wish my parent thought the same way you do." Sunghoon blurts out. " They only love me when my feet are on the ice, as soon as I step off th–they couldn't care less about me," Sunghoon mutters, letting you pull him into a warm hug, your hands softly rubbing the back of Sunghoons hair.
" Well just know that I'll always love you whether there are skates on your feet or not." She declares placing a quick peck on Sunghoons lips.
Oh, how sunghoon wishes he would've said it back.
Tumblr media
" Dude you're making me sad... it's a party have fun!" Jay says approaching sunghoon who was currently sitting by himself on the couch in the living room.
" I'm only here because Niki begged me to come, as soon as the cake is cut I'm out," Sunghoon stated, his eyes filtering over the people inside the house, some students from Niki's school and others some of his older friends.
" So you're telling me you haven't been eyeing Y/n and Jake this whole time ?" Jay asks, Sunghoon tensing beside him, of course he has but jay didn't need to know that.
" I didn't even know Jake was here actually but now that you've announced it I think I'll heading out early," Sunghoon claims, starting to stand up to go and find Niki so he could say his goodbyes properly.
" Hoon, you can't keep letting this stuff affect you. We're all friends and I'm not gonna let you throw that away because of a dumb breakup."
" It wasn't dumb, and I'm sick of all of you telling me how to deal with my breakup. You guys weren't the ones in the relationship." Sunghoon sneered, growing tired of everyone's input on his life and coping mechanisms. He knew he wasn't the best at dealing with his emotions and he'd never really gone through a breakup before, but their constant nit-picking wasn't exactly helping him either.
He'd get over y/n eventually, he just needed time, even if he missed her more than he wanted to, that was his business.
And as he watched you laugh and hit Jake's arm, the colorful lights reflecting in your eyes, your smile enhancing the faint dimples on your cheeks he knew that getting over you would probably take him more than a few months.

boy in love // clement novalak (mini fic)
summary: when marcus asks clem about the current state of his love life, they were all pretty shocked at the frenchman's answer
warnings: mentions of sex/kinks, nothing too explicit. clement is just a boy in love <3
author's note: this is so fucking self indulgent bye-
Tumblr media
"so, clem, how's y/n?" james harvey blair is the first to ask, popping another bottle of wine open. they hadn't started filming yet, the boys wanted a chance to catch up before they brought the cameras and the microphones out.
"she's good. great, actually. she had some stuff she needed to get done today, but i'm going to see her tonight. we're going book shopping, and then getting dinner." the trident driver hummed, reaching for his wineglass.
marcus armstrong coughed, choking on his drink. "you, in a bookstore? i don't even think i've ever seen you read an entire ladbible post!"
clement rolled his eyes as the guys around him laughed. "yeah, okay, laugh all you want. she was going to go on her own and meet me for dinner later but i insisted on joining her."
everybody had been shocked when clement met y/n. she was so shy and quiet and sweet, and clement was. . . well . . . clement. they had personalities that shouldn't have worked but somehow managed to meld together perfectly.
clement novalak was a boy in love. further in love, in fact, than marcus had ever seen him.
"yeah, but it's always the quiet ones, innit?" liam lawson raises an eyebrow, spreading himself out on the couch. "she's gotta be into something wild, otherwise she'd never be able to keep up with you."
they should have known that liam was going to make the conversation go there. it seemed to be the only part of having a relationship that liam was good at, as of late, with a different girl in each new city before he finally found one that put up with his shit for more than ten hours at a time.
"come on, mate. at the end of the day, that's not really any of our business, is it?" james tried in vain to shut the conversation down. "as long as clement is happy, we should be happy for him."
"it may shock you wankers to know," clement began, setting his glass on marcus' coffee table. "that i have mellowed out sexually since y/n and i have started going out."
"those are words i thought would never come out of your mouth." marcus says, finally taking a seat next to liam on the couch. "are you sure you're actually clem, not an alien from another planet?"
"very funny, armstrong. i'm serious. she's not really into anything, if i'm being honest. the first time we tried to take things a little rougher, when i tried to put a little bit of pressure on her throat, not much, just enough that we could both tell it was there, you should have seen the panic in her eyes. and i just knew that i never wanted to be the person who made her feel like that again."
"does it not get boring?" liam gawked
clement shook his head. "we have our ways of keeping it fun."
"care to share it with the group?"
clem laughed. "i'm not sure how much she's comfortable sharing, mate. i'm not trying to cross any boundaries here. but i'll precursor it with this: have you ever worn silk boxers before?"
the laughter in the room was so loud that marcus wondered if he might get noise complaints. clement wasn't sure what was so funny, but the sheer look of horror on liam's face was enough to make him burst out into laughter along with everyone else.
"i'm serious, mate. she goes wild for that sort of cliché romance kind of stuff. this feels different than every other girl i've bene with has. it's more than just a physical thing when we fuck. it's like we're making love, it's a spiritual thing. i have never felt so emotionally close to another person before."
"and that's called character development." james remarked, reaching for the wine bottle. "does anyone want another glass?"
"i think i'm going to need one if this conversation keep going." liam jokes
"please tell me that she at least gives a decent blowie."
clement's face flushed pink. "dude, i am not answering that! why are all of your questions about sex, seriously? wouldn't you rather hear about how warm and fuzzy i feel when i wake up with her in my arms, or how my knees go weak when she smiles? or about how my perception of an awesome friday night has changed from getting shitfaced with you lot to curling up with her on the couch, sharing a bowl of pretzel chips and watching criminal minds re-runs? or how content and relaxed i feel listening to her read her books out loud?"
especially when the romance books get smutty, he thinks, but doesn't say it out loud. those are always the page numbers he remembers so that they can try reenacting the scenes together later.
james and marcus shared a knowing look. it was a feeling that they knew well.
the feeling of being utterly and madly in love.
"i think i'm in love with her, man. no, wait. i don't think it."
"i know it."

when the moon rises
Tumblr media
It’s 6 pm.
Concern laces your features as you flip through the study guide one of your peers lent you. The man, Jimin claimed that these papers would help you finish well. The end of the semester was approaching and next week would be quite eventful. The last week of college, when all finals would take place.
The classes you take, well they aren’t too hard. There’s just one class that you wish you hadn’t taken for your first semester of senior year. Oh well. Everyone makes mistakes.
The night is approaching and you wish you had more time. But you want to leave as soon as the moon rises. As soon as the moon is out and you can see its beautiful light. As soon as this happens, you will go find the person you most adore.
The library is quiet, but you think there might be a better place to study. Only you might find it hard to occupy your time reading and taking practice tests if you go there. Your focus would be on the handsome owner of the small bookshop near the city.
The walk to get there would take about 20 minutes, but you didn’t mind.
Not at all.
The whole time you’re walking, you’re thinking of the book you want to discuss with him. He recommended Frankenstein to you. You were reluctant to read it at first, but you gave it a chance. Especially because he suggested you would enjoy it.
The book was good. But it left you a little sad. You hoped he would recommend something completely different. Maybe a book to pass the time.
Finally, you arrive in front of the bookshop. The name of it displayed on the mirror reflects the moon adorning the sky. Magic Shop. Once you asked him why he chose this name for the shop. He didn’t give an answer at first.
But he eventually gave in to your whining.
“I don’t know. Maybe because many people come here to find some comfort. Like you.”
The moment he said this, you wondered if he knew why you came here every time the moon rose out to decorate the night sky. 
The moon. Before you two met, you swore there was nothing more beautiful than the moon. Now you know his eyes are more beautiful.
You interrupt your own thoughts and rush inside the shop. The night was finally here and you felt a sprinkle of water. Was it going to rain? Hopefully not.
When you step inside, he is there organizing a few bookshelves. He doesn’t hear you come in, earbuds in both ears. Only when you get closer does he notice your presence. “Oh hey.” He says this with a smile on his face. He’s happy to see you.
He stands up from his spot and removes both earbuds from his ears. “You are late.”
“I’m sorry Jungkook.”
The boy gives you this look, the kind of look he gives you when he’s been reminded of something. Sometimes it’s something stupid. Like when he forgets where he put the keys to close the shop. Or when he forgets that he boiled water for coffee.
“Wait here.” He quickly walks over to the checkout counter. His hands search for something and your curiosity grows. They reach for something, a piece of paper that’s been crumbled.
“You know Taehyung? The good-looking guy that’s always looking at books but never buys any.” The name is unfamiliar to you. But you do remember this man who always came to the shop. He never bought a book and you wondered if maybe he just liked to look at them.
But he could just go to the library.
“Yes, I do remember him. But why does it-”
Jungkook walks over to where you stand and hands you the paper. “Well, now we know why he likes this shop so much.” He smiles, but his smile doesn’t reach his eyes. The crumbled paper is now in your hand and you are confused. But you open it anyway.
It read the following.
I like you. Sorry for not coming to you. Please call me.
There was a phone number under these words. You look up at him. “He comes here because he likes you?” Jungkook starts laughing the moment you say this. His eyes crinkle a bit like they always do when he laughs. He can’t meet your gaze because he swears he won’t be able to stop laughing.
He stops when you continue to stare at him in confusion.
“No stupid. He likes you.”
Oh.
Oh.
“But why? He doesn’t know me.” Taehyung never spoke a word with you. You were beyond confused. But also concerned for him. He thought it was better to leave a note than to speak to you. What kind of guy does that?
He smiles at you. “I guess he liked you the very moment he saw you.” The silence that follows after concerns you. But you can’t seem to find any words to say. Jungkook is trying to decipher what it is you are feeling.
“The poor paper is in such a bad state. Why is it so crumbled?”
Jungkook’s eyes widen a bit. “Well, I was debating whether I should give it to you or throw it away.” He doesn’t dare look at you after confessing this. You wanted to know why he wanted to discard the paper.
“Why? He gave it to you so you could give it to me. Were you really going to throw it away? That’s not very nice of you.”
He looks like he wants the ground to swallow him. “No no. I just felt a bit jealous. But I didn’t let it get the best of me.” He felt jealous. No way.
“Jealous? I’m not your girlfriend Jungkook.”
“But you could be.” He meets your eyes and his face looks pretty serious. He’s not joking or flirting for no reason. Sometimes the two of you flirt with each other. But just for fun. Silly things friends do. Though there’s nothing silly about this.
“Jungkook-”
He cuts you off.
“Look I know you like me too.”
You are going to lose your mind.
“I know this because you come here every night.”
Shit. He knew.
“I thought you just wanted to be my friend. But the looks you give the group of girls that come late at night with the excuse that they just want to read some books say something else. You can see right through them and I can too. We’re not oblivious to these people and their intentions. But it appears that you are oblivious to mine.”
He closes the distance between the two of you.
“Kindness only goes so far. I don’t have long conversations with most of my customers. I don’t ask them about their personal lives. I only took interest in you. Y/n we like each other so let’s stop pretending.”
You feel overwhelmed. But the good kind of overwhelmed. When you are feeling so many emotions, you can’t quite understand yourself. You kind of hate yourself for not realizing his feelings sooner. But you also blame him.
“Okay, maybe I was a little oblivious. But you! You never said anything, so I never did either. If someone’s at fault, it’s both of us.”
Jungkook smiles and nods his head. Your words are nothing but true. This confession causes an ache in your heart. How much time have you wasted? But there was no point in regretting the past. The future didn’t look so bad now.
You are lost in your thoughts and he uses this as an opportunity to kiss you. He kisses you gently with both of his hands cupping your face. The kiss doesn’t last very long. But the feel of his lips on yours consumes you with euphoria.
When Jungkook stops kissing you, he places a kiss on your forehead. Then he holds you in his arms for a while. At this moment, you’re so happy you could die in his arms. The warmth holds you close and you wish to stay with him like this forever.
But then he parts from you. He smiles and his eyes do the same. You’re about to ask him if you guys are dating now when he reads your mind. “Now my dear girlfriend. Tell me about the book. Did you like it? How about a cup of coffee?”
You smile. Forget the stupid finals. Tonight you were going to focus on Jungkook only.

back by popular demand, i have yet another strange LOTR headcanon post. i present to you all, a sequel to “the fellowship reacts to kombucha,” titled: “the fellowship’s starbucks orders.”
for context, just started my job as a starbucks barista about three months ago, and trying to figure out what drinks the fellowship would order has been at the forefront of my mind. i will be providing their opinion on coffee and then their starbucks order.
Tumblr media
aragorn: this bitch thrives off of black coffee, how else is he supposed to rule the kingdom of gondor?? he’s a dunedain, so while he probably limits his caffeine intake for health reasons, he definitely is the type to go into Starbucks and order a dark roast, black. and if there’s no dark roast brewed atm, then a hot americano.
Tumblr media
legolas: this man. this pretentious-ass elf, oh my god. no coffee for this woodland elf, although he seems like the type—he’s a tea-drinker, let’s be real. and although i think his soul would give out if he even dared to walk inside a starbucks, he would be the type to order a “medicine ball” unironically.
Tumblr media
gimli: obviously gimli is a coffee drinker, have we seen him?? he’s a coffee enjoyer, but not a snob—wherever he can get a cup, he’ll get some coffee, whether it be a local shop or a stbux. he’s definitely more drawn towards darker roasts, and i have an unexplainable feeling that gimli orders a venti cappuccino, extra dry, with an extra shot. he brings legolas with him, who rolls his eyes when gimli orders. hipster blonde tea drinker forced to go with his gruff coffee drinker boyfriend. they’re in love your honor
Tumblr media
gandalf: gandalf has to take care of four hobbits, an elf, a dwarf, and two men—all of which are temperamental and argue NONSTOP. his caffeine intake is unlike anything anyone has seen. coffee is not about the taste for him, therefore he has no specific “order.” if he needs a quad americano, he’ll get one. if he just needs a pike, he’ll get a pike. he has no shame. he has become a notable regular simply from the one time he ordered a ten shot latte—he also tips a LOT. he is adored by all the baristas, and they’re also probably scared of him
Tumblr media
boromir: he likes coffee, but he just kinda drinks whatever is available to him. he doesn’t have a caffeine addiction, but every daily starbucks run brings him closer to getting one. i feel like boromir is that guy who gets a salted caramel cream cold brew, or a red-eye. no in between. he probably gets an irish cream cold brew during the holidays.
Tumblr media
frodo: frodo…doesn’t love coffee. correction, book frodo LIVES off of coffee, but I think for movie frodo, coffee isn’t his favorite thing. he probably gets dragged to starbucks with merry and pippin once, and doesn’t know what to order, so he just goes for a hot chai tea latte. this starts an addiction, especially once he realizes that starbucks is a nice place to read and study. he’s always polite to the baristas and makes sure to tip extra, if he can spare it
Tumblr media
sam: bless his little gardener heart, he cannot afford starbucks. he definitely has a morning cup of coffee with cream to fuel his caffeine deficiency. if he joins frodo to hang, or is dragged along with the other hobbits, he’ll get just that. plain coffee with a splash of cream, nothing fancy for him. he also tips extra, and if frodo’s drink is made incorrectly, he huffs and puffs and politely asks the baristas to remake it. frodo insists they charge him, but sam and the baristas fight against this.
Tumblr media
merry: oh merry…(movie) merry likes to believe he enjoys coffee, but realizes very quickly that he only likes it when it’s covered up by the flavor of pure sugar. he cycles through quite a few regular drinks at starbucks, some of which include the mocha cookie crumble frappuccino, an iced white mocha with sweet cream cold foam and caramel drizzle, or maybe a hazelnut latte with two extra pumps (to cover up the bitter coffee, obviously).
Tumblr media
pippin: pippin does not like coffee. period. does he have a caffeine addiction? yeah, but his sugar addiction is probably worse. like merry, he has a handful of go-to drinks, depending on the weather, the day, his mood, etc. any of the creme based fraps, especially vanilla bean and strawberry, tickle his fancy. he also gets a strawberry acai lemonade with no inclusions (chunks don’t sit well with him), or occasionally a blended strawberry lemonade. he also buys an entire backpack full of pastries every time he goes, so he has a snack for the road, for home, for dinner, for dessert, for—

sunday crossword (z.h drabble)
word count: 930 a/n: MY FIRST DRABBLE AHHHHH to be honest I am terribly nervous about how this will be received but I guess there is only one way to find out. This is heavily inspired by the song sunday crossword by J.Maya (as you can tell by the title hihi) and if you listen to it you can maybe understand the vibes I was going for better.... 🤓 also this is only semi-edited so pls don't hate me if there's mistakes somewhere
We go through high school and our early twenties thinking we need to be less us and more someone else if we are to be worthy of love. We make smalltalk and laugh politely at our coworker's jokes and even though it leaves a plastic taste on our tongues, this is just what one has to do to be an adult!! And even though it feels like it hurts more than it does us good, and we reach a point where we think that actually, wouldn't it be better if everyone was just more weird?? But even though we want to stop apologising for having weird and niche interests our fear of being known is stronger than our want to be loved.
The kind love we dream of when we are kids doesn't exist. Where someone is willing to let you in into their home as you are and embrace you in spite of all the things you failed at today. The happy, red rose bouquets and butterflies in your stomach, grandiose professions, large romantic gestures, treating you like you're the single most important person in the world, is too perfect to be true. It's only for Hollywood movies.
Still, what else can you do, when you're young and dating? You suck it up. You look and act your best self- convincing yourself and each other that there's nothing special or unique about you. You're just normal.
That's exactly why everyone needs a reliable bestie- who makes you comfortable enough to be your unapologetic self, and slouch down and manspread in your seat. That bestie of yours is Zhang Hao. The person who's willing to empty his Sunday schedule every weekend so you can go on a morning walk, get croissants and coffee at the local coffee shop, and walk back to his apartment to munch on pastries and coffee as you solve the weekly crossword in peace- like people in their 70's do.
"And get this, I asked SO many questions to him, because he was like really interested in sports, right? But he didn't ask a single question about my books, which is my interest."
Hao's keys jingle against each other as he unlocks his front door and throws them on the kitchen counter. He hasn't given any long responses during your 15 minute rant, but does alternate between "mhmm"s and "uh-huh"s to show that he's paying attention.
"Isn't it like common courtesy to at least pretend to care about your date's hobbies? He was just like, "oh, I don't read books", and then didn't ask a single question!! As if I was asking him questions because I give a damn about sports!! I don't need him to share my interests, I just need him to let me talk about them."
You leave the coffees and paper bag with croissants on the coffee table and throw yourself on the couch, spreading your limbs out comfortably with no care to leave space for Hao.
"That's why you need me, who does share your interests, and even lets you take over my apartment", Hao lifts your legs and sits on the other side of the couch, placing your shins on his lap. "If you found another guy who would keep you company while you do the crossword I would be replaced."
"the point is not for you to just keep me company, it's to actually solve the crossword with me. you just sit there and read"
Hao does a cheers towards you with his croissant, smug smile on his face, and takes a bite before digging into his fantasy novel. He uses your pant-leg as a napkin to wipe off the crumbs on his fingers.
You take a big swig of coffee and start to study your weekly crossword. Even though he is useless at helping you with the crossword (he can't count the number of letters in a word as he says it out loud), he is indeed way better company than the dude-bro you're dating. He doesn't make you feel stupid or weird about your interests and sharing your favourite movie with him doesn't feel like tearing yourself open. There's no pressure to say something funny, or to say something at all, to look presentable or to be in a good mood. You're having a lazy morning, sitting in your pyjama pants and with pastry crumbs on your t-shirts, and there's an almost holy sense of peace and comfort. This hour or two every weekend is reserved for relaxing and recovering from all the other people in your life. It is sacred. A time to feel like you're just existing as yourself. Even when you've had boyfriends, Hao was always there to do the Sunday crossword with you.
"6 letter word, it has to include an O and a V."
He marks the sentence he's reading with his finger. "Glove?"
"That's 5 letters, dummy."
"Language", he quips and slaps your ankle lightly. "I'm offering you free croissants and my whole couch. And most importantly good company."
A defeated sigh slips from you. "Right", you whisper to yourself, and let the room fall back into comfortable silence.
Wouldn't it be better if everyone was just more weird? And we stop apologising so much for having niche interests and start building genuine, meaningful relationships instead? Being honest is scary but it also lets us find equally honest people. Like best friends who want to sit next to you while you solve your crossword.
"The word was 'lovers'."
"Ahaaa..." Hao's curiosity is quenched with that answer, and he takes another bite from his croissant before continuing his book.

That's the tea, T.
Tumblr media
Book: Open Heart (Late Book 2 Timeline)
Characters: Tobias Carrick x F!MC, Ethan Ramsey, Bryce Lahela
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Implied sensuality- nothing explicit
Words: 1,800
Summary: Tobias, Casey, Ethan, and Bryce take a walk to the new coffee place... and it turns out to be an educational experience for all as Tobias's tea order causes some commotion.
A/N: Hey all! This story takes place in the early days of Casey & Tobias's relationship, not long after he begins working at Edenbrook. This was inspired by @inlocusmads, who sent a "Is this your HC" ask that she believed Tobias had a coffee order that drove Ethan crazy. I loved it... but made it tea instead.
Tumblr media
For most Bostonians, five AM represented an ungodly that should only be spent one of two ways: in bed or on an early flight out of Logan to the tropical destination of your dreams.  But that luxury wasn’t afforded to doctors. Duty called at all hours of the day, and while it wasn’t always easy, most adjusted… some better than others.
On this morning, Edenbrook’s Diagnostic Team’s office was in full swing at the ungodly hour. Ethan, who had dealt with this for years, sat at the head of the conference table wearing a crisp lab coat and a freshly pressed shirt. Chipper as he could be, for Ethan Ramsey, you wouldn’t have known that it wasn’t five in the evening by the looks of him. However, Casey offered a contrasting picture. Her hair was pulled into a messy ponytail, and her scrubs and lab coat could be best described as “slept in,” which was odd considering she hadn’t slept a wink. She’d never be a fan of mornings, but she was doing better. She only yawned every ten minutes now, a marked improvement from before.
As the two read over charts, a cheerful whistle began to permeate the air, to Ethan’s annoyance. While he may have been used to being up this early, perhaps he was even OK with it. However, this enthusiasm was overkill, and there was no doubt who the culprits would be. He smiled when they walked into the room as if on cue.
“Tobias… Bryce,” he groaned. “Why the hell are you two so happy?”
“Why not?” Bryce flashed his megawatt smile. “It’s a new day, and there is always a reason to smile!”
“Hey, go easy on him,” Tobias snickered. “After all, some of us have more reason to smile than others.”  
Casey giggled as Tobias winked flirtatiously in her direction, and suddenly Ethan was the most glum in the room.
“Tobias & I were going to run to the coffee shop. Would you guys like anything?”
“You mean the cafeteria?” Ethan groused.
“God, no!” Bryce replied. “The new coffee place on Cambridge opens at 5:00. It’s worth the walk.”
Ethan’s face changed at once, happy and duly impressed. “Really? You know what? I’ll join you!”
“Uh, it’s probably best if you just give us your order. We’ll have it back to you in no time.”
“That’s a lovely offer, Lahela, but I’d like to go along.”
“OK,” Bryce hummed. “I just hope you can… handle it.”
“Handle it?” Ethan asked with annoyance. “It’s a three-block walk. I run marathons. I can handle it.”
“Yeah,” Bryce chuckled. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Bryce,” Casey yawned. “Leave him be. If the man wants to live dangerously, so be it.”
Ethan looked between the two friends, thoroughly confused.
“Does that mean you’re joining us too, princess?” Tobias asked.
“Princess?” Ethan mocked. “You do remember that you’re at work, right?”
“I’m not officially on the clock until 6:00, so she’s princess to me for another hour.”  Tobias tapped Casey on the shoulder and grinned. “So, you ready… princess?”
“Can I just stay here and sleep?” she whined.
“What? And miss the social experiment about to take place?” her boyfriend laughed. “Come on, baby. If you’re too tired, I’ll carry you back.”
Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose. “Oh, for the love of Jesus.”
“You know what,” Casey laughed. “You convinced me. I need to witness this.”
The walk over was pleasant. The three men chatted amicably as Casey did her best to stay awake. But entering the coffee shop helped her immeasurably. The robust aromas, uplifting music, and happy chatter seemed to bring her back to life.
“This place is pretty nice,” Ethan observed. “How long has it been open?”
“Quite a while now,” Tobias responded. “I used to stop here on my way to Kenmore all the time.”
“Ah,” Ethan sighed. “The good ol’ days.”
“You know that seeing me daily has brought unbridled joy to your life, Ramsey! Stop pretending otherwise! But seriously, I’m shocked you didn’t know about it.”
“He’s just very loyal to Derry’s,” Casey injected. “But trust me, Ethan, this place is just as good.”
“Hmm. I’ll be the judge of that.”
Casey was the first to order.
“Good morning, ma’am,” the pretty young barista grinned. “What can I get for you?”
“I’ll have a medium spice chai tea with just a splash of milk.”
“Very well, and you, sir?” She nodded at Ethan.
“Double espresso, black. No sugar.”
The barista grinned wickedly when she saw Tobias, but underneath was a look of dread.
“Hello, sir,” she beamed. “The usual?”
Bryce looked at Ethan, then turned to Casey with a shit-eating grin. “It’s showtime.”
“You didn’t get ‘the usual’ right last time, did you,” Tobias looked at the barista’s nametag, “Courtney?”
“I’m sorry about that. It was just….”
“Hey, no worries,” Tobias said with a beguiling smile. “You’re new, and I’m sure you’ll have it down pat as well as Alexa over there in no time at all.”
“For Christ’s sake,” Ethan muttered. “How complicated can your order be?”
“Complicated,” Bryce, Casey & the new barista said in unison as Tobias sighed.
“OK, a grande green tea latte,” he started.
“That’s not so bad….” Ethan interrupted.
But one look from Tobias stopped him in his tracks. “I wasn’t finished.”  He turned back to Courtney with his ever-enchanting grin. “Let’s start back at the top. A grande green latte with one pump of unsweetened soy milk, six level scoops of matcha, and serve it at 195 degrees.”
Ethan turned to Tobias with a raised brow. “Are you serious?”
Casey tugged on Tobias’s sleeve. “You forgot no foam, babe,” she yawned.
“Thank you, sweetheart,” he said with a kiss to the top of her head.
“OK,” Courtney started, “So, grande green tea latte, flat, with soy milk….”
“UNSWEETENED soy milk,” Tobias jumped in.
“And one pump!” Bryce added. “Please, do not make the dreaded two-pump error.”
“The two-pump error,” Casey giggled. “That reminds me of when….”
“ENOUGH!” Ethan yelled, only making Tobias hold Casey tighter.
“Uh, OK… grande green tea latte, flat, one pump of UNSWEETENED soy milk with matcha… uh, how many scoops again?” She asked nervously.
“You know what,” Tobias said. “Why don’t you give me the cup? I’ll write it out – and it will be a good reference for you in the future.”
Ethan shook his head. “And I thought I was a pain in the ass.”
“You are,” Tobias, Casey, and Bryce said in unison. 
“But in this scenario,” Bryce continued. “Tobias is the diva.”
“I am not a diva!” Tobias insisted. “It’s not that complicated!”
Casey rolled her eyes from under his arm, eliciting laughter from Ethan and Bryce.
“You’re not going to back me up?” Tobias asked.
“It’s not too complex,” she winked.
“Ugh,” Bryce moaned, “You’ve been such a kiss ass ever since the two of you started sleeping together.”
“Hey,” Tobias playfully smacked Bryce’s shoulder. “She’s my girlfriend… we’re not just sleeping together.”
“He finds the incessant need to say girlfriend repeatedly since he never had the emotional maturity to have one throughout his entire adult life,” Ethan moaned.
“Guys,” Casey interrupted. “I think you’re making this more difficult on the barista.”
Tobias finished writing his order on the cup and returned it to Courtney with a smile. “So, do you think you’ve got this?”
“I… I do,” she sputtered. 
Tobias hovered over the counter, watching as his beverage was being made. Casey was sure she saw beads of sweat forming on poor Courtney’s brow.
“I’m really sorry,” Casey apologized. “He’s usually not like this. He’s a really laid-back guy… but something about the green tea and matcha here, and the man loses his mind.”
“And don’t forget no foam,” Bryce chuckled. “I don’t know why, but the foam offends him.”
“You’d think he was freaking Gen Z,” Ethan muttered.
Tobias was so busy instructing the barista that he heard none of his companion's chatter.
“No!” he said. “No…no… you have to put the matcha in after the soymilk….”
Alexa, another barista, approached Courtney. “Here,” she smiled. “Let me walk you through it.” 
Alexa proceeded to make a perfect cup and handed it to a beaming Tobias. He took a sip and replied with a satisfied smack of his lips.
“See! That’s perfect. That’s how it’s done.”
Alexa put her arm around the new employee. “Don’t worry. You’ll get it soon enough. Usually, by the fourth time, you’re golden!”
“That’s if you’re allowed to make it at all,” a young man behind the counter complained.
Casey scrunched her nose. “Wait… why wouldn’t you be allowed to make it?”
Alexa looked at Casey, then at Tobias, and sighed. “Prior to dating you… he only let women baristas make his tea. He said the nuances were too complicated for men to get right.”
“What?” Courtney was astounded. “That’s reverse sexism!”
“There is no such thing as reverse sexism,” Casey informed. “Sexism is like racism. It’s a systemic bias based on social inequity; therefore, there is no ‘reverse.’”
“Thank you, baby,” Tobias jumped in.
“I wasn’t finished,” Casey glared. “Because what you did was still absolutely idiotic! Did you really think that?”  
“No, it’s just… look, the women got it right, and the guys… they struggled, so….”
Bryce lost his struggle to keep a straight face. “Right,” he laughed. “That was your reason, T!”
Ethan rubbed his furrowed brow. “You know, Casey… as much as I pity you, thank God you are dating this Neanderthal. Clearly, he needs rescuing.”
Alexa bit back a laugh. “And the city of Boston is forever in your debt.”
“Alexa,” Tobias said, grasping his chest. “I’m hurt!”
Realizing Bryce was empty-handed, Ethan asked if he had put in his order.
“Me? Nah. I’m just here for the entertainment.”
Casey looped her arm in Tobias’s. “So, is your tea, right… T?”
“It’s perfect!” He winked. “After all, it had a woman’s touch.”
“I’d really like to smack you right now,” she replied as they exited the door.
“Baby, stop! I told you, save that kinky talk for when we’re alone. But, if you insist, I can see if I find a quiet corner someplace….”
“I need to get the hell out of here,” Ethan moaned. 
“I tried to spare you,” Bryce smiled. “Race you back to Edenbrook?”
“You know what,” Ethan nodded. “You’re on!”
Tobias watched as the two men took off on foot, then he turned to Casey with a smile.
“Alone at last, princess.”
“You know, I love you,” she laughed. “But right about now, I want to bop you. Ethan’s right; you need reforming!”
“Hey, look! I am not and was never being discriminatory. I was just an insatiable flirt.”
“Oh, and now that I’m your girlfriend, that makes me feel so much better!”
“All right,” Tobias smiled. “You know I’m crazy about you. Do you really think you have anything to worry about?
“No,” Casey surrendered with a smile. “Not unless I have to make your stupid tea!”
“You know what,” he chuckled. “I want our relationship to work… just leave the tea-making to me.”
“Hey, no complaints from me.”

Her Song part 9
It's five o'clock on a Saturday morning. I don't want to be awake right now. Whose dumb idea was it to open a coffee shop, anyway?
I roll out of bed and check my phone, seeing a message from Willow. She wants to go out tonight. I have nothing to lose, so I agree. I can't help but think of Florence as I type out a response. She never leaves my mind, but she has a boyfriend so why should I feel guilty?
This past week has been so confusing. Last Friday she was being all touchy with Zach, but then she acted all jealous when I was talking to Willow. When we're alone, it's like nothing else even matters. It's just me and her, and an undeniable tension that forms whenever our eyes meet. She flirts. At first, I thought I was imagining it, but Ash confirmed it. 'Dude, she definitely wants to fuck' as Ash put it. I wouldn't quite say that, but to each their own.
Scarlett keeps pushing us together, too. She's come to the shop with Florence every day this week, and she never fails to slip not-so-subtle innuendos into the conversation. I just wish someone could be my balance of reasoning—someone who gives me their honest opinion and helps navigate all this bullshit. Ash is a great friend, but not the best at giving advice.
Groaning into my pillow, I begrudgingly roll out of bed and trudge into the bathroom to take a shower. The hot water cascades down my face, enveloping my body in a bath of calm. My thoughts aren't silenced, but they're quieter now.
I slip on some baggy ripped jeans and a Led Zeppelin t-shirt, layering it with an oversized flannel. One major perk of being my own boss is that there's no dress code. I tie on my Doc Martens and brush my teeth as I walk to Syd's room, opening the door and telling her to wake up. After making some breakfast, we're ready to leave by 6:30, and we arrive at the shop around 6:45.
"Fifteen minutes to spare," I mumble as I unlock the doors and usher Syd inside. Ash shows up within a few minutes and we crank up the music, starting the day with laughs and excessive espresso shots. Syd grabs a book off the shelf and sits on the floor, reading in the middle of the aisle, but I don't have the energy to tell her to move.
We easily deal with the morning rush of early birds getting their coffee. Florence shows up around eight, but she's not alone. Walking in behind her are Scarlett and...Elizabeth Olsen?
"Good morning, Y/N," Scarlett calls.
"Good morning, darling," Florence says absentmindedly, waving to Syd. I nearly melt at the nickname 'darling' but manage to hold it together.
"Morning, guys. I see you brought a new guest."
"Yes, hi! I'm Elizabeth, but you can call me Lizzie," she introduces herself with a kind smile, shaking my hand.
"Hi, Lizzie. I'm Y/N," I laugh lightly. "Would you like to order?"
"I'll have a chai tea latte with oat milk?"
"Coming right up! And I'm assuming the usual for you both?" I ask Scarlett and Florence, both of whom nod in response.
"And it's for here," Florence adds. I smile to thank her for already knowing what I was going to ask.
"Tu feras le thé? Je ferai le café et le café au lait," I tell Ash, divvying up the orders. She gets to work on Florence's tea and I make Scarlett's and Lizzie's. We quickly have the drinks made and served.
My phone vibrates and I check my phone, seeing a message from my dad.
Dad: I booked a flight up next Monday and a flight back on the following Saturday. Does that work for you?
Well it's a little late to ask now, considering you already booked the flight, I think to myself.
Me: Yeah, that works. See you then.
I slide my phone back into my pocket and sigh, refraining from rolling my eyes. Syd will be excited to see him. I'm doing this for Syd. It's just for a few days.
"Hey, everything okay?" Florence murmurs, resting her hand on my arm.
"Yeah, it's fine. Just my dad," I assure her.
"So, Y/N, what made you want to open your own coffee shop?" Lizzie asks genuinely.
"Couldn't afford college," I joke, although that's pretty much the truth. She laughs and Florence gives me a boyish grin, locking her gaze onto mine. "What made you want to act?" I ask Lizzie in return.
"Ooh, good one. Um, I guess it's always something I knew I wanted to do. There were times when my sisters' fame made me want to back out, but I love acting. It's a way to escape everything, I guess."
"Damn," I pause. "That's a much better answer than mine."
"You know, I think I like her," Lizzie tells Scarlett and Florence.
"Join the club," Ash mumbles with a sarcastic smile.
"Let me see your phone," Lizzie commands. I do as she says, raising an eyebrow as she types away. "There, now you have my number. And I put yours in my phone, too."
"Hey, that's not fair," Florence whines. "She was my friend first."
"I can give it to you," Lizzie tells her.
"No, no. I wanna make her work for it," I demand, staring into Florence's eyes as I speak. She swallows and breaks eye contact, chuckling nervously. I smirk lightly to myself, celebrating a victory in our nonexistent competition.
"Oh, I see," Lizzie says with a half-smile.
"Hey, we should all go out tonight," Scarlett suggests. "There's a new club, super low-key. Y/N, you'll love it."
"As amazing as that sounds, I can't. I, uh, I have a date tonight." Florence's smile falls and she looks down at the floor. I nervously play with a napkin and  try to swallow my guilt. She has a boyfriend.
"Damn, another time then. Have fun on your date though," Scarlett says, wiggling her eyebrows. I playfully roll my eyes, wondering why I'm not the least bit excited.
"Yeah, have fun on your date," Florence says quietly, the smile still absent from her face. "We should get going." She abruptly gets up and walks away, waiting at the door.
"Oh, uh, I guess we're leaving. Have a good day," Lizzie says. Scarlett waves and sends me an apologetic smile as they walk out of the shop.
"Wait, I didn't give you a song...recommendation," I call after them, trailing off because they were already gone.
Ash whistles lowly, draping her arm around my shoulder. "That is quite the situation you've found yourself in, my friend."
"What do you mean?"
"She's got a boyfriend but you're totally infatuated with her, and she gets jealous when you have a date."
"Well what do you suggest I do?" I inquire helplessly.
"Honestly, I don't know. Show her what she's missing. Use that jealously to your advantage," she advises, poking my ribcage.
"That's a horrible idea, Ashlynn. Like, astonishingly horrendous. And immature. And toxic."
"I'm just saying, going to a club with them would be the perfect opportunity."
"Ash, no."
Well...maybe. No, definitely not. Unless...no, I can't do that. Can I?

Hi there lovely! Here’s my information for the Sons of Anarchy Ship/Match-up
Features: I’m a female, standing at 5’6, I possess long light brown hair with a tint of redness in the sunlight. My hazel eyes change each day from green/brown to brown/gold. I have the sun and moon tattoos on my thighs, a shark up my side torso on my ribs, half an arm sleeve and a neck tattoo revealing my zodiac sign – Gemini (which I often hide) I’m slender with curves.
Hobbies: I am a workaholic; it becomes my hobby at times. I work in the funeral home, removing the deceased from the POD. I enjoy my free time spent with my dogs, my fierce Doberman and my lovable, motivating exercise collie partner. I enjoy reading all things Stephen King and James Patterson and playing any horror related video games. You guessed it, I’m a strong advocate for the horror genre, and Freddy Krueger will always have my heart. I watch SOA and SPN religiously whenever I tilly tally around the house.
Personality: Often seen as an outgoing, happy go lucky, eccentric lady (This is from first judgement from people I know) When really, I’m rather introverted and possess way too dark humour. I collect knives, different types ranging from a replica of the SPN demon blade, to a jungle machete. These are all encases in a glass shelf, only used for display. I love to make others laugh, and I’m incredibly loyal to those I care for. I don’t practice religion (I support others who do) as the only thing I believe in, is the reaper.
Aesthetics: Not sure if this is a term but my house is very much cabin like. Wooden beams, brown features, brown clocks with black accents. I love this kind of theme, heavily decorated with green plants and fish tanks.  
Likes: Lover of being at home, with my man and the dogs. Also a lover of all things spooky. I enjoy long hot showers with my candles lit in the shower itself, It’s so peaceful. I love to read, whether it be books in my hand or online. Sadly, I am a smoker, so my time alone on my patio having a cig is therapeutic to me. I adore time spent with my little family or my close friends whether it be going to the pub for a beer or shopping at Walmart for new bedding 😊 Coffee is my best friend.
Dislikes: My biggest dislike in this world, is seeing animals mistreated. I am that person that buys the near dead betta fish at the pet store and brings it home to treat and watch thrive. I dislike SNAKES. They just scare me, but don’t wish any ill will on them. Hypocrites are my triggers, can’t stand someone who preaches to the choir about wrong doings when they’re actively just as guilty. Own your shit is my motto.             
Brief fun facts about me!
Used to train canines for search work, in areas such as narcotics and explosives. My closest friend is my grandma. I love to wear black. My go to perfume is good girl. I play COD often – I’m competitive in nature. I wear the SONS rings as I got them custom made, and it’s my favourite accessory!
I put way too much into this post, but hopefully it’ll help lots with finding my best ship! Thanks for taking the time to do this 😊  
Want one? Here be the rules 🦋🌈
You LITERALLY sound like a character from Supernatural?!?! Are you sure you aren't Bobby's long-lost daughter or something?
Also being a canine trainer?! Um... are you the coolest person in the goddamn world? I think so.
Tumblr media
𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑶𝒑𝒊𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏! I think you guys would be such a perfect match. In a way, you remind me of a cool-ass version of Donna? You seem very strong - emotionally, mentally and physically. Opie is a quiet guy, very loyal and genuine. You don't have to worry about him being manipulative or having underlying motives. He practically wears his heart on his sleeve but does his best not to show it.
𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔
・You’d both be very level-headed and know you can trust the other. Opie is incredibly loyal, and if you showed to him the same loyalty, then nothing could come between you. 
・I think Opie would put on a brave face to watch horror movies, and he finds some scenes funny. Although he gets tight-lipped when there’s a lot of gore (feels a bit guilty?)
・He’d actually like one of your favourite horror movies, and love getting themed gifts from you
・Opie would love staying at home with you - you two would move in together and make your home a paradise. You both have a similar aesthetic. Cabin, rustic, and cosy, Opie would absolutely adore your dogs. 
・I think you would fit in with the club very easily. Gemma would be wary of you at first, but realise you aren't someone that's easily pushed around. You would definitely grow on her without realising it.

Crush (ao3) - Calumthoodshands (tndart) luke/calum T, 3k
Summary: It's Calum's birthday, and Luke agreed to come - against his better judgement. Because how the hell is he going to talk to the guy he's had a crush on for over half a year now?

Summary: "{fifth.} YOU KNOW HIM. you love him. through a thousand lifetimes, across millions of stars, you’d find him, you’d never leave him. you love him, it consumes you, until death do you part."

make you blush (ao3) - dazedlight (opinionoutpost) luke/ashton T, 5k
Summary: "Luke peers up, and he's sure his heart does stop this time as he shrinks in on himself, worrying at his bottom lip. He really doesn't need this right now. In fact, he needs the opposite of this – he really, really doesn't want to talk to Ashton Irwin at this moment, or any moment, to be honest, because he thinks his stomach might fall out of his ass if he tries."
Or, Luke is a dweeby Year 10 who has a crush on the star of the musical.
(not) just friends (ao3) - galacticsugar michael/luke T, 4k
Summary: His eyes land on the folded paper, drawn in by Luke’s scrawling handwriting.
Specifically, on his name in Luke’s handwriting.
Casually, like he’s being watched, Michael picks up the paper and carefully unfolds it. It’s from one of those hotel room pads, branded with the hotel logo, which Luke improved with some artful squiggles. At the top, it says Michael Mix, the peaks of the Ms rising high above the rest of the letters, both words underlined twice. And below that, a list of songs.

taking the long way home (ao3) - softirwin luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 5k
Summary: “May we have your attention for flight BA8227,” the tinny voice of the announcement says, and Ashton’s stomach sinks. They never announce anything he wants to hear; there’s never any we’ve upgraded hardworking and broke session drummer Ashton Irwin to first class, he’s also been given unlimited air miles and a refund on his overpriced tuna melt. “We are sorry to announce that this flight is delayed by approximately seven hours. This is due to unforeseen adverse weather conditions. I repeat-”
-
aka their flight is delayed au
Temporary Bliss (ao3) - dxnise michael/calum T, 3k

there for you - @sup3rbloom​ (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 3k

Summary: Sometimes Luke find himself looking back on his teenage years and wonders about things. He wonders how his old high school teachers are doing, if any of them have retired since he’s left. He thinks about his old classmates and if they are leading the successful lives they all dreamed about when the accepted their diplomas on graduation day.
Luke wonders if Ashton ever thinks about him.
or where Luke is a bartender in New York City when his ex-boyfriend comes in for a drink
We Couldn't Freeze This Moment (ao3) - antisocialhood luke/ashton N/R, 3k
Summary: Ashton's relationship with Luke was a simplistic amount of domestic fluff and vanilla sex.
wherever I am, I’ll come running (ao3) - nothingliketherain (39_killer_queen) michael/ashton T, 4k
Summary: If he’s being honest, Ashton doesn’t know what to do either. Out of Michael’s closest friends he’s the only one who doesn’t have a dog, the least likely to have a vet on speed dial, the least likely to have something like this happen to him before. But instead of calling Luke or Calum for help, he called Ashton.
Because if there’s one thing Ashton does know how to do is take care of Michael.

How do u think Noah would deal with jealousy?
I actually threw you in a cheeky little bonus here, you got his jealousy, and his reaction to yours, you're welcome 😉
okay, so, noah has good days and bad days, but don't we all? sometimes his insecurities are playing up, it just takes an off-hand comment from someone or a weird dream, and he's doubting himself. he's working on it, though. typically, he feels pretty good. he feels a lot better about himself after working through some of his issues, especially with stiles, and for pretty much the first time in his life, he's actually comfortable in his own skin, he loves himself.
however, no matter what kind of day he's having, noah is pretty good about his jealousy. does he get jealous? yes, absolutely. constantly, actually. over almost anything. he gets jealous over your friends when you hang out and cuddle a little with allison or lydia, he gets jealous over the men in your friendship group, especially the footballers, when they do playful things like wrap arms around your shoulders, steal your food or tease you, and even stiles. he has been known to get jealous of his own brother when stiles makes you laugh so hard you can't breathe, your eyes water, lungs aching. he once got jealous over a barista in a coffee shop when he gave you a particularly warm smile and a heart in coco-dust on your latte.
but, if there's one thing noah never doubts, it's your love for him. damn, that boy might be completely and utterly whipped, but he's not stupid. he knows how you feel about him, too. he works hard to make sure he deserves you, he works to make you happy, he knows he's onto a winner and he's not giving up. he knows how much you love him too, and so even when he gets jealous, he's not mad. he can't help it, he just wants all your smiles and laughs and touches for him because he's selfish like that, but he knows it's nothing but platonic. so, he doesn't act up when he gets jealous, he just waits to see if you need him.
obviously, when it's with your friends and stiles he's never going to be needed, but out in public, he waits until you need him. he's not a storm-in-and-make-a-scene kinda guy. if you start twirling the ring of his that you wear on your index, little glances at him, twitchy body language, he knows you want his help. even then, he doesn't start yelling. he'll just casually step up to your side, slip an arm around your waist and press a light kiss to your temple, before asking if you need any help, or if you're ready to go. one time, just the one, he got into a fight.
but, that's a story for another time.
so, let’s come round to when you get jealous. now, I won’t tell you what you get jealous over or how jealous you are. that’s your business. just know that he knows. he knows. he adores you, so he can read you like an open book. at first, it panicked him. when he still felt like he was walking on egg-shells, still a bit unsure after the incident, and he was settling in. he would panic, he would worry about whether he'd done something to initiate it, and do everything he could to prove to you how much he loves you.
now, though? now he knows how much you love him, and he knows you know how much he loves you. nobody is gonna be coming between the two of you. so, he finds a little amusement in it. in a cute way, because it makes him feel kinda good. watching you get a little pouty and when you try to stop your eyebrows from doing the frowny thing, but it doesn't work. he kinda loves it. it makes him feel special, in a stupid way. every time he's like, 'wow, this incredible girl loves me so much she'd get jealous over me? I must have been a saint in a past life'.
he lets it go on for a few minutes, before eventually putting you out of your misery. he'll kiss the place on your forehead where your brows are all furrowed, and then use a knuckle to tip up your chin until you're looking at him, because when you realise he knows, you always refuse to meet his eye. he'll ask 'who is it, baby?', and sometimes you tell him, sometimes you don't, but he always makes sure to make a little extra show of the way he kisses you, because he wants you to be sure that everyone knows he's yours just as much as everyone knows you're his.
